00:00Hey everybody, I'm Janelle here with the legendary OJs.
00:04Every stage they step onto, they completely crush.
00:09One of those stages I have personally seen you crush is the Essence Festival stage.
00:13One of my favorite places.
00:15This is the 25th anniversary of the Essence Festival.
00:18And it's something that we need to embrace.
00:20And by them embracing Frankie Beverly and honoring him this year,
00:25I think that's a move in the right direction.
00:28Because us old school fellows, we're still the ones who initiated that beginning for them.
00:34This is the truth.
00:35So as men, can you tell me, when you look out and you see that sea of beautiful women,
00:40is there anything like the crowd at the Essence Festival in terms of eye candy for a man, for men like yourselves?
00:47Eye candy.
00:48You said it.
00:49You said it.
00:50You just answered everything.
00:53That's what it is.
00:54If you want to see a variety of colors, a rainbow of colors, a rainbow of precious, precious black gold,
01:05come to the Essence Festival.
01:06Come to the Essence Festival.
01:08That's where they have it.
01:09You sound like you have a love affair with New Orleans.
01:10Yes, I have a love affair with New Orleans and black women with blue eyes.
01:16They got them in New Orleans.
01:18Creole lady.
01:18Some songs might have been written about some Creole women.
01:26Am I right?
01:28Have there been some OJ songs written about some?
01:29Yes, absolutely.
01:31Anyone in particular?
01:32You're the girl of my dreams.
01:33Just let me make love to you.
01:38Because we all know a lot of babies are made during the Essence Festival.
01:41Don't put that on me.
01:44And we want everybody to save up and bring their money, money, money, money.
01:47Absolutely.
01:48Absolutely.
01:49There you have it.
01:51Thank you so much.
01:52We love you more.
01:53And keep giving us all that good baby making music.
